Philip83 Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hi, My name is Phil and I have just purchased not only my first Triumph but my first classic car. Deep in the rural countryside where nobody goes is where I call home, everyone else calls it Lincolnshire but it seems I may very well be alone here? I am looking to get my Spitfires twin 40 DCOE’s set up but arguably more importantly, if there is anyone else local to me with a spitfire too? I have searched for groups and meets but to no avail so far. Anyway, I expect to be out of my depth pretty soon so thanks in advance for all the help, tips and advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then turn right out of the car park, right at the roundabout and then immediate left into the garage car park and go and talk with Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I parked in that car park (often in that very space) every weekday morning for 6 months, so I recognised it immediately you posted the picture. I also suspect I’ve seen the car driving around the area as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been local, I was working on the airfield between November last year and May this year. Now only visit every couple of months for a day trip.
